In what year was the construction of Guddu Barrage completed?

Select your answer for: In what year was the construction of Guddu Barrage completed?
Show answer

Answer: C. 1962

Explanation

Engineering records and official construction timelines confirm that the Guddu Barrage was completed in 1962. Construction work on the massive barrage structure across the Indus River concluded successfully in the year 1962. Historical archives of civil engineering projects in Sindh document the operational launch of Guddu Barrage in 1962. Guddu Barrage is a large water control structure built across the Indus River to regulate river flows for irrigation. The barrage commands millions of acres of agricultural land situated in the northern districts of the Sindh province. Major irrigation barrages constructed during this era transformed arid regional landscapes into highly productive farmlands.

1960 marks the historical year when the historic Indus Waters Treaty was signed rather than this barrage completion. 1961 was the penultimate year of heavy construction work before the final operational completion of the barrage. None of these is incorrect because the correct completion year of 1962 is explicitly provided as an option.
